1. Corn Dog
A popular Korean street food, this deep-fried battered hotdog was a vital part of the 2020 K drama, Start-Up. In the series, Choi Won-deok (Kim Hae-sook), grandmother of leading lady Seo Dal-mi (Bae Suzy) owns a corn dog business where she met second lead Han Ji-pyeong (Kim Seon-ho) who would, later on, be involved in a maze of interesting twists. Corn dog is a kind of snack that somehow brings out the child in you, or in this case, childhood memories for Han Ji-pyeong.
